Pls need help urgently
My HTC Touch is stuck in the windows folder in file explorer , tried soft resetting and battery removal yet explorer starts in windows folder and am unable to use explorer, have no alternate explorer software either nor do i have any registry modification software. cant afford to lose data from hard resetting.
Please guys, this is an emergency
Thanks in advance...
Me too!!
My phone does the exact same thing. Ditto. It just hangs in the default explorer mode under windows....and I have to end it from the task manager. It was annoying in the begining but then I got resco explorer.....works a million times better than the stock file explorer, but the fact remains that I still have the same problems with it. I would recommend you install resco explorer and continue so tht it doesn't hamper your phones usage.
Inputs from anyone on this really appreciated.
It is very slow for me too. Do you still see the icon moving indicating that the device is working at opening the folder? If so, You just try to be patient and let it work itself out. If it is really getting stuck, try hooking up your device to your computer using activesinc and see if you can access the windows folder that way. If you have been saving things to the windows folder, then move them out of the windows folder into another folder so that there isn't anything else extra in the windows folder that doesn't need to be there. Do this through activesinc using your computer. Also, if you have other applications running in the background while trying to access the Window's folder, you will see a slow down in performance while it is trying to access the files in the folder.
The device just hangs entirely....I dont see anything on the screen. Just the busy icon...and I've tried giving it some time as well. Left it untouched for upto 15-20 mins at times. And still no go. Would it take longer than that? Besides when I try to end the program from the task manager, it shows the program not responding pop up as well indicating the application has hung. I can access the windows folder through activesync without any problems. Is this like a bug or a known issue or something like that? I used to think its only my device...alas....Im not alone!
Actually it is not stuck, frozen or hanged ... it just takes a loooooooooong time
That happened to me, use some other sw like GS Finder (freeware)

I havn't heard of any known bugs or issue with accessing Windows folder. For me it usually takes a couple of minutes minimum to open the Windows folder. All other folders open immediately. Maybe you should try a different app for viewing your files as already suggested. I really can't say what is causing your problems. Could be that you have an app installed that is causing conflict. I don't know how much better a different app would work for viewing your files; however, it may be worth a try in your case. It seems unnessarily long to open the windows folder. I have tried using different programs to access my windows folder and it still takes at least 2 minutes to open the folder to view the contents. I avoid it as much as possible.
also - Don't let your phone go to sleep when your device is trying to open the windows folder. I have found that once when I let my device go to sleep while working on opening the file that it did freeze and I needed to perform a soft reset.

This happens to me too. It just takes a long time loading all the files in windows, it's not stuck. But what an odd problem :S
hello
It's slow .. always has been .. always wil be ....
It's slow in the Diamond...
Touch HD ...
It slow as it has to read all the files on thre ROM .. yes it should be faster .. but the so should life !!
It works!
You know guys....all this time....I thought my device was being retarded and thats why file explorer would hang....but after reading what all of y'all had to say....I decided to give it one more shot...and I tried it...and left it on.......and after wht seemed like an eternity.....I was finally able to open the windows folder (ofcourse I had to wait approx 25 mins which I think is insane...coz no one in their right mind will ever wait that long to open a single folder). But it did work. And so I guess in conclusion, it doesn't hang....it really does take a s*** load of time to open. Now I dare not go into the windows directory using file explorer
Thanks you guys.

Try using one of the newer cooked ROMs, it should only take 10-20 seconds now.
guys, i also faced this problem several times , it takes loong looong time to load.. anybody has resco explorer ?
I had same issue but got fed up with it and reset my Touch and reloaded all software. it loads up windows folder much quicker now say 20 seconds compared to -well in the end it was not even opening it. I think its like windows - after time the registry gets clogged up and it just grinds to a halt. i am always trying out new software which never fully deletes.
HTC Touch stuck in Windows folder - solution!
I believe we have found out why the HTC Touch is stuck in the windows folder in file explorer. I inadvertently had the unit sort by "file type". When I did that, the problems began. As soon as I reset the sort to "name" - everything went back to normal (fast). I was ready to take the thing back when we noticed the difference in speed between his phone and my phone.
i used to have this problem with the original rom but it usually was about 2 miutes (not 25) but after CID unlock higher ipl/spl (3.07) and onx 4.2.1 rom it works fine
I had the same problem, and i solved it by overclocking the processor to 221 Mhz and left the file explorer do its work till it read all the files in windows folder then it was returned to normal... then i changed the directory (tapped on UP)... and voila... it's back to normal...
Just got the pro and my windows folder was working fine until i sorted by type accidentally (i have meat thumbs) and it just hung for awhile, so i shut the screen off and let it do its thing. Came back after searching the forums and seen an error "An Information Rights Management error has occured. If the problem persists, reboot your device or re-activate Information Rights Management by connecting to your PC" i had it plugged in before this and when i was done copying this to the device i just unplugged it the quick way rather than going to disconnect USB device in the taskbar. Hooked it back up to windows and released it through the taskbar, now it works fine in the windows folder. Dont know if this would solve ur problem but it may help figure out the problem.

You guys are genious. I need serious help. First I have a services.exe error everytime I shut off or soft reset. Any one know what to do or if it even matters.
Second all this talk about running things and saving space. I need more memory saving. I don't have a clue what I really need and what I can get rid off to save oh ram. or hard drive memory too. Please tell me exactly what to do.
NExt on my HTC Imagio I want to run SBP mobile shell but I want to run TF3 too because I like the weather start up on it and I can't get to it with spb shell running someone talked about it but I can't figure out what to do based on what I read, I want to start up TF3 and then hit a button to go to shell. ANy one know how to do itl Also I have Pocket Mechanic and all kinds of tools but not SK Tools. I have Vitual Espolorer cuz I thought that would help me ID files but now that I can ID them I doh't know what I need and what I don;t. If I get SK Tools will it help me know what to do. Nothing comes with a manual anynmore. I need a detailed manual for the phone and how it works not what it does. Can anyone answer these with esplicit directions cuz I don;t know a .dll from anything else. I only know that an exe runs something, So Im really dumb about all this. ANyone know how to help. It 2:30 AM and I;ve been up all night for a week trying to figure out things on this phone. So far I like it a lot but the more I add the slower I get and I might want to add more. HELP!!!!!! Going crazy.....
OK, that's a whole lot for anyone to try to process. First things first, what's your biggest problem? The best way to get help is to knock down the issues one at a time.
The first problem is I have a services.exe error every time I turn the phone on after it's been off or any time I reset it. That's first
Based on a little Googling, it looks like the only fix for a services.exe error is a hard reset. I pasted the info on a hard reset below for you:
This will wipe all data off the phone and restore factory default settings.
1. While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Down + Talk/Send + End/Power.
2. When the device displays a message about wiping the data, release all 3 buttons.
3. Press Volume Up to complete the hard reset.
If I move all my programs I installed to my card I won't really loose anything right.,

I don't know what programs you are trying to move, listen, just forget moving programs, back up or your files via myphone or use activesync to store everything you want on your computer. When you perform a hard reset either by the method listed or by going to Start->settings->all settings->system->memory then selecting clear storage tab, letting win mo come back up and customize then before you do anything when it restarts, hard reset again, for some reason this helps the functionality of native software. Then immediately take care of the tv icon, proxy mem. tweak, and nopifix. Then what ever you need to install try to install to your sd card via downloading from this xda site for cab files or doing a little google searching rather than installing directly from market place. EXCEPTION: DO NOT INSTALL TWEAKS TO SD CARD OR ITEMS THAT ROTATE THE SCREEN. Keep all the cab files on your pc or on your storage card so that you have them whenever you decide to hard reset or flash your device. Enjoy your imagio thing only become easier the more you use and play.
I must not have my activcesnyc set up right because the only thing it backsup is my contacts, email, journal and a file folder full of what ever I want to but in that folder but thats snyc with my docs on my devic and I don't want to over load it. When I had a palm it used to back everythng up to a file on my computr and I could just reinstall but this windows stuff doesn't seem to do it. How do I set up active sync to sync everythi ng on my devide and card to back up to my computer.? Ans I don't have a clue what you were talking aabout when you said take care of your tv and those other files, not a clue. I have mobil shell on my phone is that what your taling about not having on the phoen. You need to talk like your talking to a 12 year old when your explaining this stuff to me. Thanks. L

Hey you said something about getting rid of the tv icon and other stuff after a hard reset, but never explained in detail. plz help, thx
After weeks of zero issues (aside from memory leak), I just got a barrage of services.exe errors this morning. Phone was throwing error after error even after a soft reset. After three soft resets it's finally working now (after another services.exe error). I didn't make a single change to my configuration though so I'm a big perplexed as to why these just started showing up now. I was really starting to get content with my Imagio too...sigh.
Are game saves backed up by the Zune software so if I do a hard reset I can pick up where I left off?
I searched aroung a bit, and I guess the answer is no, no data backup from apps.
thanks anyway
Here is what I understand. If you have downloaded games, apps whatever, from the phone there is no backup for the apps due to the hard reset wiping all data from the device. If you install games or apps from zune software there is back up in the event you hard reset due to your zune account keeping track of what is synced with the phone.
thanks for the info. That is what I came to understand also. But no matter how you install the apps there is no back up of app settings or saved games as of yet.
Depends on the game, if it's a game with a network server like crackdown, it saves by account not on your phone.
But lets say an offline game like puzzle quest, it saves on your phone. If you do hard reset, you will lose your save. And there is no way backing it up. I learned it the hard way
REALLY??
The crackdown game is the one I was most worried about. One of the reasons I was holding off on putting in my Sandisk C4 microsd card is because I didn't want to start over. I may have to give it a try this weekend.
IMHO I'd like to see game and app data synced to your skydrive account. It'd be nice if both Xbox 360 AND Windows Phone 7 could drop game saves from any game to Skydrive as a backup.
Has any one found where the game saves are just upgraded my phone and don't want to start from scratch again
Hi
Is it possible to back windows phone app data to a computer? I want to switch memory cards without losing progress on my games etc.
My mother phone was running out of space for a long time. She tried to install some stickers app from windows phone and obviously due to lack of storage it is stuck in the process.
From that point my troubles go on.
First of all I cannot enter into most of the apps on my phone. Only some simple setting app work.
For I can turn on and off wifi, set date to on and off and do the simple operation. I am litteraly out of space but everytime I delete facebook, messenger the phone restarts to old settings.
I have searched all over the internet and I cannot find the solution. There are lots of photos on this phone and I just want to save them. Unfortunately whilst my PC can see the device when I double open the windows phone there is nothing to show.
Please tell me if there is any trick to connect to file system by interop unlock of phone. Anything will do really.
Thanks

As I just want to save data would it help if I install android 7? Would android then recognize internal storage as partition that I could use with some recovery program?
Can I force installation of Windows phone 10 from PC? Is there any way to stopp the installation of the app from PC with some power tools or anything?
Please help.
Thanks
